Agaete Valley has a rich and diverse history that spans thousands of years. Here is a brief overview:

Pre-Hispanic Period: Before the arrival of the Spanish, the Canary Islands were inhabited by indigenous peoples known as the Guanches. They lived on Gran Canaria for hundreds of years, practicing agriculture and leading a semi-nomadic lifestyle. The Guanches had their own unique culture, language, and customs.

Spanish Conquest: In the late 15th century, the Spanish Crown, led by the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, began their conquest of the Canary Islands. In 1481, they launched a military campaign on Gran Canaria, which ultimately led to the surrender of the indigenous Guanche population in 1483.
